ICC WT20: Luke Wright named in Team of the Tournament

08-Oct-2012

Sussex’s Luke Wright has been named in the ICC World Team of the Tournament for the World Twenty20 which concluded yesterday in Sri Lanka.

Wright, who scored 193 runs in the tournament, fell agonisingly short of a century against Afghanistan in England’s opening match as he smashed 99 off only 55 balls against the minnows in a big 116 run win. He was also in fine form against New Zealand in the Super Eights stage of the tournament with a knock of 76 off only 43 deliveries.

There was also Sussex interest in the Womens Team of the Tournament as England’s wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor was named alongside three other English players. They were defeated in yesterday’s final by Australia in Colombo.
